Public Meetings Branch.

Sir,
re Mr. George Jeger.
79, New North Road, N.1.
I beg to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 14th inst.
I have pleasure in acting as a referee for Mr. George Jeger. I have known him for some years, and he has done work for me as Secretary of an organisation of which I was Chairman.
In answer to your particular enquiry, and for your special purpose, I would certainly say that he would be a clear and concise and convincing speaker to most audiences. I have never heard him address an audience of aristocrats in a drawingroom, and therefore I do not know whether he would be convincing to them, because, as you know and I know from experience, they are a rather difficult type of audience requiring a special technique and approach. But for the ordinary democratic audience, such as is commonly met with in this country, I would think from his knowledge, his experience and his ability, Mr. Jeger would certainly fit all your requirements and needs.
I cannot imagine why in such a new Government Ministry a more appropriate job cannot be found for him, having regard to his special and peculiar qualifications, but, of course, as you have asked me a particular question in your reference I am confining myself to a particular favourable reply.
I am, Sir,
Your obedient servant,
